Rachel and Cliff in Bryan, TX

Rachel and Cliff met through mutual friends in their first semester at Texas A&M University. "We went out dancing one night at the Texas Hall of Fame, better known as 'the Hall,'" says Rachel. "So it was important for us to get married in the same town where we had met." The two settled on the historic Astin Mansion as the site for their nuptuals where their neutral color scheme created a romantic and classic style.

"We were so happy everyone was on the dance floor throughout the night," says the bride, who changed into cowboy boots after the ceremony. For their first dance, the couple selected George Strait’s "Oh, What a Perfect Day," played by their DJ.

The groom drank Dublin Dr Pepper, a gift from his father, during the reception. "While he was growing up, Cliff and his family used to stop at the Dublin factory on their way to Texas A&M—it’s his favorite childhood memory," says the bride.
